Empey stated that the volume of business handled at his office exhibited a marked gain. On account of the banking holiday, the city extended the discount period for payment of light and water accounts from March 10 to March 16. Local banks have been advised that the secretary of the treasury will Issue regulations to prohibit the hoarding of gold and gold certificates. The period in which citizens may return gold to the bank has been extended until Friday pending formulation of these regulations.

August Reynier, 48, Carbon county sheepman, shot and killed his wife, Josephine, 61, at their home on First West street at 1:00 a. m Tuesday, and then fired a shot through his heart Both died almost instantly. An inquest was held Tuesday afternoon before Justice J. W. Hammond, acting coroner, but no testimony was given which Indicated the motive for the double tragedy. Witnesses at the hearing were: Joseph Lavigne, Eugene Blanc, A. D. Alec and Seraphin Pllessier, boarders at the Reynier home; J. G. Grosso, ion of Mrs. Reynier; Warren Peacock, Carbon deputy sheriff; Nephi Gunderson and William McIntyre, members of the Price city police force, and Dr. Charles Ruggeri. Mr. Lavigne, Mr. Blanc, and Mr. Pllessier occupied the room opposite the bedroom of Mr. and Mrs. Reynier, The latter was asleep when the shooting occurred, but Mr. Lavigne and Mr. Blanc testified that they heard some one leave the opposite room shortly before the shooting and return in about ten minutes. Shortly after, they heard Mrs. Reynier cry out, and a few seconds later, two shots were fired in rapid succession. The two men awakened Mr. Ples-sland Mr. Alec, who were in anrs other room, and summoned Mrs. son, who lived in a house on the adjoining lot. The door of the Reynier bedroom was open, and they saw Mr. Reynier slumped on the bed with a rifle near him and his wife lying face downward at the foot of the bed. Dr. Charles Ruggeri testified that the bullet which killed Mrs. Reynier entered her left side and came out on the right side. Mr. Reynier was shot over the heart, the bullet slanting downward and coining out on the left side of his back. Mr. Peacock, Mr. Gunderson and Mr. McIntyre stated that they found the room in the same condition as described by the other witnesses. There was no evidence of any struggle, they declared.

Term Until May Fifth ASSESSOR EXPECTS OVER lf MILLION In Carbon County For 1933 Completed; Data Assessment Being Placed On Rolls. Assessment work in Carbon county for 1933 has been completed and the valuation data is being placed on the rolls, according to a report issued on Monday by Silas Rowley, county assessor. The tax rolls will be turned over to the assessor the fore part of May. Although the county's valuation will show a considerable decrease in comparison with the figures for the previous year, Mr. Rowley feels confident that the assessment will be well within $21,000,000. The valuation in 193? was $25,300,000. Mr. Rowleys report on utilities, which are officially assessed by the state tax commission, was completed last week. Although the utility tax notices are sent out by thetate, the assessments generally conform with the recommendations made by Mr. Rowley. The biggest factor in the reduced valuation was the depletion of private coal property, which cannot.be after it is worked out. This situation further emphasizes the Importance to Carbon county of the recently passed royalty bill, which provides that 80 per cent of the coal bonuses, rentals and royalties received ed.

Contracts signed by the teachers fer this year carried a rider providing that 90 per cent of the monthly salary would be paid aa stipulated ia the general contract, and that 10 per cent would be withheld by the board until such a time as the length of the school term could be fixed.' Then, should the term consist of right months or less, the accumulated amount retained by the board would be paid to the teachers in addition to the final monthly payment The contract also specified that if the school term consisted of more than eight months, the. amount retained by the board would be increased to a sum equal to 90 per cent of the monthly salary named in the contract which amount would constitute the final monthly payment ' However, the teachers have agreed to waive their right to eollect- - the accumulated amount and the econo- mles effected by this action make possible the continuation at school until May 5.
